Attendance FAQs

 

How will attendance work while we are remote learning?

Attendance while we learn remotely will work like it does during in-person learning. That means that arriving late to class will result in a tardy. Not arriving to class will result in an unexcused absence.

 

What should I do if I have to miss class?

Chicago Public Schools Policy States that students can be excused for the following reasons:

  1. Student illness
  2. Family emergency
  3. Religious holiday
  4. Death in the family
  5. Concern for student health or safety (must be approved by principal/principal designee)
  6. Other situations beyond the control of the student (must be approved by principal/principal designee)

There are 2 ways to report absences while we are remote learning:

 

1. A parent/guardian can report an absence by leaving a message on the attendance line at    773- 534-8037. The following information is required when reporting an absence:
    1. Parent/guardian name
    2. Student name
    3. Reason for absence
    4. Date of absence or periods of absence                                          

 

2. A parent/guardian can complete an absence form and send to Ms. Delgado at pdelgado7@cps.edu. Completed forms can be scanned and emailed. Forms with an        electronic/typed signature cannot be accepted. You can access the attendance form        here:

 

 

Per CPS policy, emails are not an accepted form of communication for excusing an absence.

 

What if there is a mistake on my attendance?

If you notice a teacher has marked you incorrectly, please contact the teacher via email and CC Ms. Delgado pdelgado7@cps.edu so that the mistake can be reviewed.

 

How can I view my attendance/my student’s attendance? 

Students and parents get view attendance in the Aspen Portal.
